Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Butter
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 cups Rhubarb
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of powdered sugar. Cut in the 1 cup of butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Press the flour mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the crust is baking, prepare the rhubarb filling. Dice the rhubarb into small pieces and set aside.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs, 2 cups of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of flour, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until smooth. Stir in the diced rhubarb and the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until evenly combined.

Step 6

Pour the rhubarb filling evenly over the warm crust, spreading as needed to ensure even coverage.

Step 7

Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden around the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the dessert to cool completely in the pan. The filling will set further as it cools.

Step 9

Slice into bars or squares once cooled, and serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
